I think it's true that those with visible disabilities seem more likely to seek out or create a community of others with the same condition. Having schizophrenia I must say that I have never really even thought about trying to find others with it to hang out with or befriend. But then it's a bit complicated with me because I go back and forth between visible and invisible status depending on what it is that's wrong with me on any given day.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I <B>really</B> hate those wonder-crip stories too.bint alshamsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00658169355503798587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10557263.post-81402225466990491872007-03-25T02:32:00.000+01:002007-03-25T02:32:00.000+01:00Hmmm Insurocorp are going through a phase of charg...Hmmm Insurocorp are going through a phase of charging anybody injured but attemtping to do any work at all, including mowing lawns, with fraud for working while having medical certs saying not being able to.<BR/><BR/> Another words no matter how many Doctors and specialsists say someone is injured.<BR/><BR/> If that person attempts to work at all then they must be putting it all on!<BR/> <BR/> I never mention my existing dissabilites, even to Doctors and it is amazing how long it takes people to even allow themselves to notice you are a bit of a crip.<BR/><BR/> Or the lengths people will go to to assure you that you appear normal and not a crip.<BR/><BR/> I have been through mysriads of assessments of my injury condition over the years and only very brief mention has ever been made of my existing crippidness.<BR/> <BR/> So hopefully one day soon I may too be set up for a fraud charge by insurocorp for attempting to keep working despite being assessed as injured.<BR/><BR/> just Imagine the quandry I could create not only through them having my identity remanufactured to show I am not injured.<BR/> But also by my introducing life long physical dissability as well, including dire predictions that I would not be able to walk, then would be in a wheelchir by 40 and all the other things experts say.<BR/> <BR/> Should be fun watching people squirm with all that.<BR/> <BR/> A word of warning though, my injuries cetre maninly around chemcial exposure and developed senstitivities, NEVER, ina weak untinking moment agree with someone that it's abit like having chemcial induced Aids!<BR/><BR/> Nothing kills off employment more quickly! <BR/><BR/> I do the impossible to prove to myself I can.<BR/><BR/> People seeing me doing the impossible become convinced I am misleading them rather than admit they, in my position, could never achieve the things I have done or do!<BR/><BR/> Kids on thinking back are always very straight forward at asking why I limp or wear funny boots I explain then we get on with the job at hand!<BR/>XRUBL (How appropriate ocne again!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10557263.post-82649671295535282212007-03-24T15:55:00.000+00:002007-03-24T15:55:00.000+00:00This reminds me of a true story: On one of these d...This reminds me of a true story: On one of these disability awareness days or whatever it was, a boy and his Dad were asked to come up to the stage. The boy was about six years old and blind. On stage in front of all the people he was for some reason asked, if he knew why he was blind. Very confident he said:"Yes, of course I know! I am blind because I can't see!" Everyone was giggling a bit, but Dad, who obviously had prepared his son for questions like this supported him by suggesting that there was something else worth mentioning. Son:"You mean about it being ge-ne-tic?" He was struggling to pronounce the word correctly. Then he went on: "Well it is about genes, you know? Everyone has got them, they are aaaall oooover the body. And my genes are all blind!" I was there to interpret all that and nearly collapsed laughing. It is the kind of answer some people deserve, I think.BloggingMonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17767164739217269193noreply@blogger.com
